Speaking with Confidence with Cat Matson: communication coaching for humble leaders

137 - I Talk Too Fast - How To Slow Down

Listen Later

In this episode of Speaking with Confidence I’m answering a question from my community:


“How do I stop talking so fast when talking to someone in person?”


Talking fast isn’t always a bad thing, but when you’re nervous, anxious or trying to say ‘all the things’ in a limited amount of time we can talk too fast and drown our listeners in all the words.


Listen in to hear

  • How to manage your nerves when speaking
  • Why it’s important to focus on connection with your listeners, not just delivering your content
  • My top tips for slowing down mid-conversation, when you realise you’ve sped up
  • How to engage in a dialogue with your listeners, rather than just a hyper-speed monologue
  • Why chatting with your own internal dialogue is a powerful strategy to slow down and connect with your listener.
